Buy your food from the CIA: Amazon buys Whole Foods

When Amazon boss and billionaire Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post in 2013, he also had an ongoing $600 million contract to provide cloud computing services to the CIA. That meant the Washington Post, which already had a long history of cooperation with the CIA, renewed their wedding vows with the Agency and doubled down on the alliance.

By any reasonable standard of journalism, the Post should preface every article about the CIA, or article sourced from the CIA, with a conflict of interest admission: TAKE THIS PIECE WITH A FEW GIANT GRAINS OF SALT, BECAUSE OUR NEWSPAPER IS OWNED BY A MAN WHO HAS A HUGE CONTRACT TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO THE CIA.

Now Bezos and his company, Amazon, have bought Whole Foods for $13.7 billion. Whole Foods is the premier retailer of “natural” foods in America.

The degree of profiling of Whole Foods customers will increase by a major factor. Amazon/CIA will be able to deploy far more sophisticated algorithms in that regard.

It’s no secret that many Whole Foods customers show disdain for government policies on agribusiness, health, medicine, and the environment. Well, that demographic is of great interest to the Deep State, for obvious reasons. And the Deep State will now be able to analyze these customers in finer detail.

At the same time, the Amazon retail powerhouse will exercise considerable control over the food supply, since it will be selling huge numbers of food products to the public. Amazon will have new relationships with all the farmers Whole Foods has been using as suppliers.

Perhaps this disclaimer posted on every Whole Foods item is now in order: KEEP IN MIND THE FACT THAT THE OWNER OF WHOLE FOODS, AMAZON, HAS A VERY TIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CIA. USE YOUR IMAGINATION.

Then there is this. The CIA has its own private company, called In-Q-Tel, which was founded in 1999 to pour investment money into tech outfits that could develop new ways to facilitate “data collection,” and service other CIA needs. In-Q-Tel, Jeff Bezos, and Amazon are connected. For example, here is a 2012 article from technologyreview.com:

“Inside a blocky building in a Vancouver suburb, across the street from a dowdy McDonald’s, is a place chilled colder than anywhere in the known universe. Inside that is a computer processor that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and the CIA’s investment arm, In-Q-Tel, believe can tap the quirks of quantum mechanics to unleash more computing power than any conventional computer chip. Bezos and In-Q-Tel are in a group of investors who are betting $30 million on this prospect…”

Nextgov.com described the deal this way: “Canadian company D-Wave Systems raised $30 million to develop quantum computing systems. Bezos Expeditions, the personal investment company of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and CIA venture capital arm In-Q-Tel participated in the latest funding round, the firm announced. The company’s quantum computing technology seeks to speed up data-crunching. If successful, the technology could aid automated intelligence gathering and analysis.”

Yes, automated intelligence gathering and analysis are exactly what outfits like Amazon and the CIA need for profiling the public. Other companies who have purchased products from D-Wave Systems? Goldman Sachs and Lockheed Martin. Let’s see: Amazon, CIA, Goldman, Lockheed—a formidable collection of Deep State players.

“Buy your food from the purest natural retailer in the world, the CIA. Oops, I mean Amazon. Oops, I mean Whole Foods.”

Police State Tactics

AUGUST 13, 2014

WALTER CRONKITE REPORTING FROM FERGUSON

Where in the hell is the left and right in America holding fire and brimstone on the President of the United States?

What is being witnessed is America becoming a tyrannical militarized police state.

This is shameful as what was formerly a great nation turns into Germany’s Brown Shirts with technology so vast that one has to ask the question is this any longer a democratic republic where the Constitution and Bill of Rights means anything anymore?

The whole world should be watching the American Stasi and the shame and horrors lead by those who make billions in the military/defense contractor monopoly and get but a glimpse of what may in fact is being done in the name of ‘democracy’ in our country and around the world.

Just take a look at what an all-white dominated police force does in a black community.

And what about what they are dressed in and carrying? Since when are American police prepared for war?

The whole world should be watching and the cameras should be in the face of President Obama.

This is one time when the sky should be filled with drones capturing for the whole world to see what American hypocrisy and horrors in defammation of the freedoms America is supposed to protect.

CBS, NBC, ABC, PBS, CNN, FOX, BBC and ESPN get your drones in the sky to capture the collapsing of the empire in all it’s shameful glory despite the takeover of the FAA by the Pentagon, the CIA, ‘Homeland’ Security and any of the hundreds if not thousands of military contractors, mercenary armies of biotechnological agribusiness companies ala Monsanto who appear to be in a game where men, women, children and family pets are the first targets in this war against freedom and human potential.

Is it not about time to stop true state enforced and supported terrorism?

Shock and Awe is very much alive on the streets, in the towns and neighborhoods being used against on our friends, neighbors and communities to the glory of the ‘homeland’ and it’s shareholders.

The shame and tyranny must stop and those involved prosecuted.

Did you hear that Mr President?

If Dr King were here he’d never let down on you from personal responsibility to preserve, protect and defend.

Were you not some sort of constitutional law expert and teacher?

Did we miss something is the translation?

Dr King would be there on your doorstep and unlike your never meeting Nelson Mandela since you became president I don’t think momma is giving you an excuse to avoid meeting the spiritual leader of the human rights movement.

He’d ask for thousands upon thousands to descend on the White House and Missouri with cameras in hand to show the entire world America has become and perhaps once and for all identify who the puppet masters are.

When is enough is enough?

The battlecry at the end of the Nazi regime was “Never Again”. It is about time to roll up the flag and without firing one shot except the shout heard round the world that shines the light upon tyranny and those that despise freedom.

Enough IS enough.

Never again shall we allow the repugnant behavior of dysfunctional psychopaths destroy the possibility of life, freedom and the ability to dream of a better world for any human willing to give their all for it.
War has been declared on Ferguson, Missouri by a foreign occupier and what is the Mayor, Governor and President going to do?

Never Ever Again!

Mr Obama this is one you can’t and must not avoid.

Time to become a leader of all the people includng those that elected you.

May the photos and videos be etched in you mind and heart and may you put an end to this shameless spectacle.

Time to grow up Barack and be true to those words in those documents that you claim to hold to your heart and what you swore to uphold and defend against all enemies.

May the spirit of Dr King ring from sea to shining sea and Americans awaken from the deep fog they appear to be in and may tyranny be replaced with freedom or at least the idea of it.

CIA facilitated 9/11 terrorist visa mill in Saudi Arabia

by Kurt Nimmo

From Global Research: www.globalresearch.ca

Eli Lake, writing for The Daily Beast, in other words Newsweek, warns that Americans fighting in Syria may soon return home and pose a serious terror threat.

“The problem, U.S. counter-terrorism and intelligence officials tell The Daily Beast, is that there are just so many jihadists with Western passports traveling to fight in Syria that they worry some of them may slip back into the United States without being detected,”

Lake writes.

He then quotes Matthew Olsen, the director of the National Counter-Terrorism Center, who told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in March hundreds of terrorists have Western passports and they “could return to their home countries to commit violence on their own initiative or participate in al Qaeda-directed plots.”

CIA’s Saudi Visa Mill

Prior to the September 11, 2001, attack the CIA arranged passports and visas for veterans of its covert war in Afghanistan. This was confirmed by the former head of the American visa bureau in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Michael Springman, who told then BBC journalist Greg Palast in November, 2001, he “was repeatedly ordered by high level State Dept officials to issue visas to unqualified applicants” who were allowed to enter the United States.

“What I was protesting was, in reality, an effort to bring recruits, rounded up by Osama Bin Laden, to the US for terrorist training by the CIA. They would then be returned to Afghanistan to fight against the then-Soviets,” Springman said.

Months before the September 11 attacks Shayna Steinger, a consular official, issued 12 visas to the alleged hijackers at the consulate in Jeddah. A State Department memo states Steinger issued 11 visas to the hijackers, but one additional visa was issued by a second consular officer.

Terrorists Trained by the U.S. Military

Earlier this week, Aaron Klein, reporting for WorldNetDaily, revealed that members of ISIS fighting against the al-Assad government in Syria were trained by U.S. military instructors in Jordan. According to Jordanian officials, the trainees “were first vetted for any links to extremist groups like al-Qaida.”

ISIS emerged from the ranks of al-Qaeda in Iraq and is considered more militant and extremist than al-Qaeda.

Following the attacks of September 11, 2001, it was reported – and subsequently relegated to the memory hole – that a number of the purported hijackers were “trained in strategy and tactics” at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida, and the Air War College in Montgomery, Alabama, according to Newsweek.

CIA Created Terrorists

The CIA has a long history of hands-on experience with terrorists who have allegedly attacked the United States. Ramzi Yousef, the supposed mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the planned Bojinka attack, was recruited by the CIA and fought with the Mujahideen in Afghanistan.

Ali Mohamed, a major in the Egyptian army recruited by the CIA,

“trained most of al-Qaeda’s top leadership – including bin Laden and [Ayman] al-Zawahiri – and most of al-Qaeda’s top trainers. Mohamed taught surveillance, counter-surveillance, assassinations, kidnapping, codes, ciphers and other intelligence techniques,”

U.S. prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald told the 9/11 Commission in 2004. “For five years he was moving back and forth between the US and Afghanistan.”

“It’s impossible the CIA thought he was going there as a tourist. If the CIA hadn’t caught on to him, it should be dissolved and its budget used for something worthwhile,” Nabil Sharef, a university professor and former Egyptian intelligence officer, told The Wall Street Journal in November, 2001.

Returning members of ISIS, now hyped as the next wave of domestic terror, are not tourists, either. If, as predicted by a range of offcials, including Rep. Peter King and Sen. Lindsey Graham, ISIS attacks inside America it will be part of a larger plan to expand and extend the war on terror and put the finishing touches on the surveillance and police state in America.

This apparatus is not designed to protect against al-Qaeda or ISIS terrorists. The purpose is to spy on the American people, who are the real enemy, and make certain they cannot effectively challenge the political monopoly of the global elite.

Oh Really? A Short List of Obama’s Crimes

and Crooked Capers

by I.M. Barabas

Oh Jay, You Forgot to Mention This……

How about his Six Monsanto people, his Secret Kill Lists, his NDAA which Carl Levin, on the floor of the Senate said that Obama pressured him to keep it in the bill? How about the opening up of Africom as a War Front, and calling it humanitarian? How about he and Kerry lobbying for an attack on Syria, potentially WWIII?

How about all the droning with Nazi V2 Drones, the torture of Chelsea Manning, the record amount of Whistleblowers prosecuted, us all being data mined and tapped, the completion of the NSA SuperSpy Center in Utah, the microphones in municipal buses, “border” checkpoints 100 miles from the border, renewing the Patriot Act for 4 years?

Jay Just Loves the Brand

How about receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, and now the Shoah Humanitarian prize from Steven Spielberg, while John McCain, as a Fascist Avatar for Obama in Ukraine, visited the Neo-Nazi “rebels” we support there..McCain, as part of his “Fascist Greatest Hits” tour, previously visited Syria, where he posed with the head “rebel” there..who is AL QUAEDA.

Who IS Jay Rockefeller? Until recently, he was head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, where secrets are bottled up from Americans in the Name of National Security. Occupying that spot now is Dianne Feinstein, the richest APPARENT member of Congress (Rockefeller is, back to that in a moment). Jay Rockefeller is the Senior Rockefeller now, David is mostly doddering now. A tip of the iceberg family holding is JP Morgan/Chase Bank..notice how a Chase Bank is opening up on every corner? David Rockefeller founded and funded organizations which promoted and got passed GATT, NAFTA, CAFTA….and he co-founded the Trilateral Commission with Zbigniew.

Jay Rockefeller is promoting the Race Card to Balkanize us so that we don’t look at the reality of this government..don’t fall for it.

Congress Is Starting To Look Like A Cheap Version of Fascist Italy

I. M. Barabas

Consider…..

Fascist MussoliniWould be proud of Obama if alive today

The “rebels” we supported in Libya were Radical Islamists, including Al Quaeda..and they run the place now. That fact alone puts the lie to the War on “Terror”. We airlifted a bunch of them to Syria, and John McCain, who shows up in Syria and then the Ukraine, is our number one Republican Fascist..and he shows up there posing with a Syrian “Rebel” leader…who turns out to be Al Quaeda. McCain shows up as a representative of Obama and this government. They think we are stupid..and if you watch Mainstream Media, or read the NY Times….you are.

Hunter BidenOff to the UkraineHey, Thanks Dad!

Meanwhile, Joe Biden’s son was just appointed to the Board of Ukraine’s largest Gas Company, and the people feeding us propaganda think you are so stupid that when Jay Carney says that Biden is a “private citizen” and when the White House says “Joe Biden does not endorse this”…they think you will be stupid enough to not realize this for the corruption it is, while telling many that only Republicans are corrupt.

It used to be, as outlined in The Shock Doctrine and in Economic Hitmen, that only Third World countries were in the gunsights of the IMF/World Bank/CIA…now, it is First World countries. Look to Detroit as the model of the first city taken down by Globalist Fascist interests, and note that GM cars are made in South America, Russia, China..and not so much here anymore. Pensions, Unions, Health Care ruined when Obama, in a Mussolini move, “saved” the auto industry by throwing them into a bankruptcy, pre-packaged, which took 45 days to complete, a record for such a large bankruptcy. Bankruptcy Lawyers are still scratching their heads trying to figure out how that happened so fast. Also note that Detroit needed 20B to save it, and that we are launching three aircraft carriers which have a total price tag of 52 BILLION Dollars. Chrysler is in the hands of the Agnelli Family, Fiat, in Greece, Agnellis being the good Friends of Henry Kissinger. Detroit is a ruined city. Get ready for more….This is CFR Thomas Friedman’s Flat Earth, in which his job was to justify the Feudalism/Serfdom which is coming to all countries.

Jobs under Republicans and Democrats have been shipped overseas, and the only new jobs created, for the most part, are minimum wage jobs. McDonalds workers, WalMart workers…they need welfare.

The saying used to be “As goes GM, so goes the Nation.” That was when GM was the largest employer in the country. Now, the largest Employer is WalMart, and we know what happens to THEIR employees. “As goes WalMart, so goes the country”….a frightening thought.
